Vehicle History: This
immaculate 260Z has been owned by Richard for 9 years. Originally rusted
parts of the body were cut out and new pieces welded in, the body was then
painted in acrylic and rustproofed. The dash and instruments were restored.
Except for some light damage in the left back bumper area the body has
never been damaged. The car has always been garaged and has been developed
over the years to be both a fun road car and a competent sealed circuit
car with an emphasis on superb handling and excellent braking.
Over time virtually every
moving part has been replaced with genuine or Japanese new parts. Both
the diff and gearbox have had their bearings and seals replaced as a precaution,
all wheel, suspension and steering moving parts have been replaced, only
the tailshaft is an original item. The car has not been used much in between
the occasional sprint at QR, except to attend the Nationals at Shepparton
in 2005. Its a hobby car, not a daily driver, built to be utterly reliable
and has never broken down.
